Topic awaiting preservation: 3DS Question (Page 1 of 1)

A while ago my friend showed me how to make a turtle shell and showed me this thing where first you make a shape from the edges of a squashed sphere, then make a little circle spline off to the side, and lathe the shape from edges to the circle, but all the way around. I cant remeber how to do that part though, is there a "lathe to shape" or something like that I'm missing?

Hmmm...I thinm aybe you're refering to 'lofting' which allows you to take a base shape and a base path, and extrude one along the other, then define shapes on the x and y axis that the extruded shape will conform to.
